AlgiGripTM

AlgiGrip has been specially formulated to remove and control green and mustard (yellow) algae in swimming pools, and dams with adequate circulation. It must be remembered that no chemical will work effectively if conditions in which they are to be used is unsuitable.

AlgiGrip will work with amazing success at the correct pH and with suitable water circulation. The pH should be controlled at between 7.0 and 7.2 to obtain the best results. It must be remembered that the higher the pH of the poolwater, the more costly the chemicals will be to do the same job at the correct pH, and the more the problems that will be picked up along the way, e.g. at a pH of 7.8, 6 times as much chlorine will be required to give the correct chlorine reserve.

AlgiGrip at a pH of 7.0-7.2 will enable the pool owner to reduce the amount of chlorine required to a half a cup added twice weekly in the summer

AlgiGrip-Guide For Optimum Pool Performance

  1. Adjust pool water to pH 7.0-7.2 (yellow colour on test kit indicator).
  2. Pour AlgiGrip into weir, while the multiport control valve is in the bypass position, so that the AlgiGrip enters the pool through the inflow pipe(s) and not through the filtersand. Water circulation can now be checked.
  3. Correct pool circulation if possible.
  4. To assist rapid removal of algae add 4 cups HTH (for a pool of 40000 ltr.) dispersing in the water into the weir. AlgiGrip and HTH are completely compatible and work together.
  5. Check the pH the following day and correct to 7.0 - 7.2 if necessary with hydrochloric acid.
  6. Never add chlorine granules direct into the pool without dispersing the clorine in water, as the high pH (12) can cause chemical imbalances in the areas where the chlorine deposists on the floor and stains could result.
  7. Control the pH of the pool water at pH 7.0 (yellow) and add AlgiGrip when necessary (every 2 - 3 weeks).
  8. It will be found that when AlgiGrip is used correctly, and the pool water is kept close to pH 7.0, usage of chlorine will be reduced considerably (i.e. half a cup twice weekly in summer).
  9. Remember that the higher the pH of pool water, the more ineffective water treatment products become, and the higher the chemical cost of running the pool will be.
  10. If borehole water is used, it will be found that IronCrash will reduce the possibility of staining pool surfaces.

AlgiGrip is specially formulated to act as a maintenance product. Regular use protects the pool against algae and maintains a sparkling clean pool. It is to be used with chlorine.

Directions for use:

The pH must be between 7.2—7.4. Total alkalinity in marbelite pools should be 80– 120 ppm. In fiberglass, vinyl and painted  pools between 125-150 ppm . Pour 1 ltr of AlgiGrip direct into the weir while the multiport control valve is turned to the bypass position. Run for approximately 30 minutes. Reset the multiport control valve to the filter position again.

The performance of AlgiGrip is elevated with the simultaneous use of chlorine reaching 1.0 ppm.

Warnings:

Handle with care. Wash hands with water and soap after use. Poisonous if swallowed. Avoid contact with eyes. This product does not control bacteria. Do not use while swimming. Store away from foodstuff. Destroy container by perforating, Do not use for any other purposes. Never use AlgiGrip with other pool chemicals. Keep out of reach of children.

First Aid:

Skin contact: Wash with water and soap. If symptoms occur get medical attention.

Contact with eyes: Wash with copious supply of water for 20 minutes. Obtain urgent medical attention.

Ingestion: Drink large amounts of milk or egg whites. If not available drink plenty of water and seek a poison centre or contact a physician. Do not induce vomiting.
